San Antonio-style Mexican food. Serving on the banks of the River Walk since 1946.

The restaurant founded in 1946 by Alfred F. Beyer, sits on land first granted title in 1777 by the King of Spain. The Spanish Colonial period hacienda became the core of the new business. The cedar door and window lintels, the fireplace, and thick rock walls, are still evident inside the building.

Casa Rio was the first San Antonio business to open its doors to the River and take advantage of the River's setting. Canoes, gondolas, and paddle boats, evolving into tour and dinner boats, began here and helped create the Riverwalk of today.

Casa Rio offers lunch, dinner and cocktail boat service. Casa Rio makes arrangements with the private boat operator on behalf of the party’s host. Casa Rio provides all the necessary food and beverage services on board the boat. Reservations are made based upon availability of boats. The standard riverboat-dining cruise takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes and can accommodate up to a maximum of 20 people per boat for meal service (lunch and dinner) and up to 30 people per boat for cocktail cruises. Prices are based on a minimum of 10 adults per boat for food and beverage service.

For over 50 years Casa Rio has been serving San Antonio and those who visit our great city. Visit us today!
